Looking for something that also looks great on a shirt and easily identified whether by shape or color. So lettering that is not too thin and can be embroidered. Perhaps a logo that uses the initials as well as the name??

    On 73... Maybe try making the center part of the "m" less square and more pointed...?

    Can I see 32 and 47 on black please... Just like to see how that looks with more of a solid red. Also like to see 67 in that same green but with black instead of blue. On 70 and 71 I like the direction you're heading with changing up the logo but still needs something. Also, please remember to not use the comma "," before LLC. Thanks!

    Can submissions possibly show a black and white of design along with the color?

    Those who have 4 or 5 stars please feel free to change up the design as you see fit and we plan to make a decision soon thereafter. What I believe we have been favoring.. Is the symbol including the initials so it can be used separately in advising products. (without the actual name) Also have been preferring the LLC to be included (with no comma before the LLC). Like the red and black, like the lime green, like some of the blues... But no so much the orange and yellows. It might help to throw in a print on a marketing product.. Like a t-shirt or business card to show the usefulness, which is what I'm aiming for in the end. you all rocked on the designs, but always still open for new ones!!! :)

    Can we try a sample of the font from 11 and do it the same format of 32 (with the "LLC")... Also, any way to make "United LLC" any bigger on the bottom without losing the look? Not sure if it will look as good without the lines on each side though... (?) Can I also get 35 in a black/red color (please add "LLC" to that one as well)

    Seem to be favoring the red/black colors from what I see so far.. But also would love to see a couple different (new) idea's out there. Also... Can we grab the symbol on 11 and put that with the wording on 13. (I also like the idea of turning the initials into part of the symbol, if not within the symbol somehow :)

    (No comma needed when using LLC... should just be "Merchants United LLC")- Thanks!

    Here's a basic guide to our own star ratings: 4=Great possibility, 3=Like the direction but needs some minor variations (maybe color/positioning/font), 2=Like, but somewhat off track, 1=Not what we're looking for. (no 5's until final day as those will be finalists.)

    #10-12... maybe put the two words on top of each other to the right of the symbol, as opposed to one long line...?

    I think you are all getting the idea now. #6-8, it seems the symbol is separate from the wording. Also, maybe change up the symbol a little on those. Still think the symbol needs to give somewhat of a financial feel...but I do like where these are going. Im also thinking It may help to add "LLC" at the end of the actual company name...might help balance it out a little. Just a thought.

    I just guaranteed the project.. so let's get some great creative and cool-looking idea's! :) Also I wanted to mention that I am not really against the use of gradients if you feel that will make the logo. So be creative, and have fun with it. Thanks!

    Draft #3: I mentioned this on the other drafts submitted, but I'm really looking for more of a symbol with the initials or maybe an "image" that could be identifiable with the company. Similar to the logo for EEC Financial Planning that you did. (but a different symbol obviously :-) Thanks!

    Something more along the lines of a logo look or "image", than a monogram look. If possible it may be good to give a little idea of what we do... Think Credit Card, Local/personable Service, secure/reliable processing...anything along those lines Thanks!

    Draft #1 thanks for submitting. Nice, but a little too basic for the look I'm going for. Would like something a bit more eye-catching.....or maybe fun. Perhaps adding in a design/object or jazz up the initial's by doing something with them. The U also looks a little too J-like In this one. Please keep them coming.. :)
